Orange Democratic Movement

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) was a social democratic political party in Kenya that was founded in 2005. The party was named after the orange ballot card in the 2005 constitutional referendum, which represented the answer "no" as to whether the president should gain more powers. The ODM originally consisted of the KANU party and minor liberal parties in the country, but the conservative KANU party later split from the ODM, leaving it as a strongly center-left party.
